Futurist Brian David Johnson will spend his second night at Iowa State by hosting a town hall on the future of the American Dream.

The event, free and open to the public, will take place 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union as part of the National Affairs Series.

Johnson was the first futurist ever at the Intel Corporation and is currently the futurist in residence at Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination and a professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society.

Johnson also holds more than 30 patents and is the author of both science fiction and fact books.
